Here's how Round 6 broke down: The Readers collectively voted IV-A-1, which I can only guess was the unintended result of the vote being split between IV-A-2 and IV-D-1. Regardless of why, space IV-A-1 was already occupied. So as per the asterisked small print in the initial rules, the Level with the 2nd most votes kicks in, which was Level II. Alas, spot II-A-1 was also occupied, meaning we go to the Level with the 3rd most votes. Levels I and III were tied, but since I-A-1 was also occupied, the Readers' move defaults to Level III. Thus, III-A-1.

Not the move that was intended I suspect, but hey, works for me. After all, the Writers' disadvantage impacts our moves theoretically half the time.

I'm thinking that we should go for III-A-2 now in order to block one of those options and give ourselves a few attacking options. We will still be on the defensive for a bit, but at least we'll have options. Damn those fine print rules!
